OMG, I can hear & feel those roller's !!!! B)

Hey Skully !!!

 

Thanks heaps for those shots, brought back pleasant memories of a flight I did 

in Feb 82, Business class on this magnificent aircraft.

 

Perth-HongKong-Perth.

 

Allow me to share with you 4 shots (apologies for the scratchy colour slide scans) that I took on this flight.

I can still taste the lobster ( West Australian of course !!) and the Bollinger. (sigh !)

 

 

About to board at Perth(aerobridges ? whats that)

 

Nice when you know the crew.

 

Ready to board by bus at Hongkong(Kai Tak no less !)

 

OMG, I can hear & feel those rollers !!!! B)

 

 

Enjoy Guys !!!

 

Cheers

Very Nice Skully and Tony,Thx for sharing these.

Really neat pics both of you guys!  Oh how I miss flying on the L-1011's.

Those photos are awesome Tony!

Now that had to be a memorable flight to exotic Hong Kong no less.

Thank you very much for sharing those with us Sir, if we ever meet the Lobster is on me! :lol:

Cool seeing virtual and real pics. I miss all those half chrome/shine bottom planes.

cool shots for both posters!!

 

What panel are you using for Captain Sim L1011 demo model?

 

Aharon

Aharon, I'm just using the default bus panel CS has it aliased to for now.

The only thing I've modded on it so far are the FSX RB211 sounds I found here at the Avsim library

Gentlemen,

 

Thanks for your kind comments. The resize of the scans has

resulted in a loss of definition, but in case your interested, I can read from the original scanned

panel shot these facts......

 

31020 ft.....................mach .831 on the left... mach .838 on the right ( different pitot source maybe ? )

Hdg 340....................154nm NW of the Brunei VOR.

 

I was lucky in having the jump seat From T/O Brunei, till landing at KaiTak.

Which was a tragedy (not) as I missed the second bottle of Bollinger !!!

 

 

Cheers
